moodboard: I couldn't find the actual clip (starts 48.13, ends 49.56) of this scene hence the whole movie posted, but this sequence and monologue from christopher Walken a reformed vampire and master "Peina", resonates. Who has been able to control his own addiction (thirst for blood), schooling a now addicted "Kathleen Conklin" (Lili Taylor) with a contemptuous mastery. Based off director Abel Ferrara's experiences with heroin addiction.
